The Inauguration of the President of the United States takes place during the commencement of a new term of a president of the United States, which is every four years on January 20. The day a presidential inauguration occurs is known as “Inauguration Day.”

Thank you for your support of the only authorized original White House Gift Shop established in 1946 as the White House Flower Fund.

By permanent memorandum of President Harry S. Truman, the White House Flower Fund became the White House Security Fund which soon, thereafter, became the White House Gift Shop.

The only book commemorating Barack Obama’s historic Inauguration to be licensed by the Presidential Inaugural Committee, Barack Obama: The Official Inaugural Book lavishly documents the entire inaugural week, from Obama’s “Whistle Stop” train ride to Washington to his first days in office. With exclusive access to inaugural events, former White House photographers David Hume Kennerly and Robert McNeely led a team of award-winning photojournalists to capture this historic celebration, from the vast crowd on the Mall to the grandeur of the President and First Lady taking their places on the world’s stage, to the faces of people of all ages and races watching Obama take his oath of office. And for the first time in any official inaugural book, photographs chosen from tens of thousands of online submissions highlight the diverse perspectives of Americans at this important moment in our history.

Commemorating Obama’s presidential innauguration in words as well as images, Barack Obama: The Official Inaugural Book includes a preface by Tom Brokaw: “Barack Obama understood that he was a consipicuous beneficiary of the heroic work of those generational brothers and sisters who marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., in the great nonviolent crusade for equal rights.” The foreword by U.S. Representative and civil rights leader John Lewis reminds us of the import of that day: “Barack Obama’s inauguration was a day of jubilee . . . It was as if a great weight had been lifted, and we all became aware that maybe, just maybe, we were beginning to lay down the burden of race in America.” In his concluding essay, historian Douglas Brinkley meditates on the global stature of the man “who defied odds makers and transcended race to become the 44th president of the United States.”

You may enjoy knowing that we took our Christmas Berry red and white inspiration for this Holiday Season mug collection from California its Toyon, or as it's sometimes called, the Christmas Berry.

The outside of our mugs are happy red with a pure white interior, which is the coloration of the Toyon.

Toyon is an evergreen that is native to California. Toyon becomes a a delightful evergreen multi-stemmed tree with white flowers in summer and red berries in winter. The berries provided food for local Native American tribes, such as Chumash, Tongva, and Tataviam. The berries also can be made into a jelly. Native Americans also made a tea from the leaves as a stomach remedy. Most were dried and stored, then later cooked into porridge or pancakes. Later settlers added sugar to make custard and wine.
